Testimonials

Working with Chip is like having a conversation with a good friend about your ideas, inspirations and hopes for your home. Chip truly listens to me, and interprets my thoughts into beautifully designed spaces in my home. He not only wants to make a room look stunning, but he is careful to consider how a space will be used and keeps comfort in mind as he proposes items for my home. In addition to selecting wonderful furniture components, Chip has designed several beautiful items for our home including a hall table, a dining room table and a dining room cabinet.

Chip also has an extensive background in fine art and has been instrumental in helping me select pieces for our home from galleries around the Country. I look forward to each of my meetings with Chip. He is always prepared, always upbeat and always has something unexpected up his sleeve that makes the spaces that he designs stand out from the crowd. I like to say that Chip makes my home look like me—albeit a better version of me that I didn’t realize was possible.

As a professional painter, I sometimes have the pleasure of visiting the homes of Chip’s clients. Without fail, the environments he creates are unique and stunning. You can feel your body relax in the spaces he designs.

I trust Chip’s eye. He designed and hung a solo show of my paintings last year with sensitivity to color, space and lighting seasoned by decades of experience. The guy has a gift.

Simply put—Chip knows how to make a room sing.

Working with a seasoned interior design professional like Chip Kalleen is a wise investment in making a house a home and an insurance policy against costly mistakes. Chip walked me through all the selection decisions on building a custom home, ensuring the exterior to the interior flowed seamlessly. Chip’s sense of humor coupled with his keen eye for design sensibility make him an absolute pleasure to work with. I learned so much about the design process through Chip’s tricks of the trade and vendor connections. I couldn’t be happier with the end result reflecting my personal style.
